@chapter How MySQL does sorting (filesort)
- Read all rows according to key or by table-scanning.
- Store the sort-key in a buffer (sort_buffer).
- When the buffer gets full, run a qsort on it and store the result
in a temporary file. Save a pointer to the sorted block.
- Repeate the above until all rows has been read.
- Repeat the above until all rows have been read.
- Repeat the following until there is less than MERGEBUFF2 (15) blocks left.
- Do a multi-merge of up to MERGEBUFF (7) regions to one block in
another temporary file. Repeat until all blocks from the first file
is in the second file.
are in the second file.
- On the last multi-merge, only the pointer to the row (last part of
the sort-key) is written to a result file.
- Now the code in sql/records.cc will be used to read through the
in sorted order by using the row pointersin the result file.
- Now the code in sql/records.cc will be used to read through them
in sorted order by using the row pointers in the result file.
To optimize this, we read in a big block of row pointers, sort these
and then we read the rows in the sorted order into a row buffer
(record_buffer) .
